“It’s remarkable how quickly the proposed XL tar-sands pipeline from Alberta to Texas has become an article of faith among the Republicans. Every one of them gives you the unmistakable impression that, if they didn’t have all this running-for-president stuff to do, they’d be out there on the Canadian plains right now, pick and shovel in hand, digging out the trench themselves, like John Henry with his hammer, Lord, Lord.”

What I find interesting in the various discussions about fracking and tar sands pipelines is how nobody (AFAIK) mentions the elephant in the room called post-peak. We wouldn’t be doing things like this if we weren’t scraping at the seams of the pantry, looking for crumbs.
